Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ

Design 89. Large brown spiked seal. Here we have the earliest of the three ornate back designs for the $5 Treasury Note with General Thomas at the center, flanked by the large brown spiked seal on the right and a red serial number on the left. The back is that of the popular ornate variety. This is the most desirable of all $5 Treasury Notes because it's so beautiful and there are some are available. Wonderful paper, lovely centering and a bold, masculine appearance to this highly regarded type. Current census indicates 127 notes known with this example being tied for finest known.
